Laura Harvey, head coach of the Seattle Rain Football Club, said this week that she used ChatGPT to help come up with a new defensive strategy that she actually deployed and actually helped the team win their game.
Speaker AWhat was the last thing you used ChatGPT for that resulted in a surprising positive outcome?
Speaker AOh, wow.
Speaker AThat, that's actually easy ad it's going to be a boarding answer for our listeners.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker ABut hey, that's what niche podcasting is all about, is about random, random facts that might interest people.
Speaker ASo I actually used it for this podcast to understand how this microphone works.
Speaker ADid you know there's this, like, button on the bottom of our microphones that you can push one way or the other?
Speaker AAnd I had no idea what either of those things meant, and so I looked it up and figured out which way I should have it have it set up for.
Speaker ASo, yeah, it helped me with, with my sound production for today's podcast.
Speaker AHopefully everyone's enjoying it.
Speaker AI'm glad that it resulted in positive, a positive impact for this podcast.
Speaker AChris.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker AAnd Jonathan Bailey of Wicked fame was recently named people's Sexiest Man Alive, a pick I happen to agree with.
Speaker ADo you, however, agree with this pick?
Speaker AI do.
Speaker AI preferred him as Anthony in Bridgerton.
Speaker AHe is a very handsome man.
Speaker AI. I do like his character better in Bridgerton.
Speaker AIt's a little.
Speaker AHe's a little more, like, adventurous and risque in that show.
Speaker ASo I think that's what they should be using as Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker ANot in reference to his role in Wicked personally, but.
Speaker ABut yes.
Speaker AGood pick.
Speaker AGood pick.
Speaker AIt's interesting.
Speaker AI never thought about the promotional timing between Wicked and him being named the Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker AI wonder what.
Speaker AWonder what happens there.
Speaker AThat's a curious little factor I didn't think about before.
Speaker AAll right, question number three.
Speaker AJohn Lewis is opening the John Lewis Lounge exclusive exclusively for my John Lewis Loyalty Scheme members.
Speaker AUpon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a complimentary coffee or glass of sparkling wine alongside Waitrose chocolates and the option to enjoy hand and arm massages.
Speaker AChris, would this be enough to get you into John Lewis for your holiday shopping?
Speaker ANope.
Speaker ANope.
Speaker AI'm 100 out on anything with the words hand massages and 100% out.
Speaker ANo hand massages for me.
Speaker AOh, I would.
Speaker AThat's like, my favorite thing about the.
Speaker AThe Paris airport.
Speaker AThey have like, the Clarence massage area and, and all that in the airport so that you can get your hand massages and back massages and facials right there.
Speaker AIt's perfect.
Speaker AI would definitely be doing it.
Speaker ABetter you than me.
Speaker ABetter you than me.
Speaker AAll right, last one.
Speaker ACarly Rae Jepsen is reportedly pregnant.
Speaker AWhat should she call the baby?
Speaker AI said they should call the baby cmb.
Speaker ACall me baby in honor of the baby's father, Cole mgn, who, apparently, that goes by those three letters as his last.
Speaker AYou're joking.
Speaker ANo, Cole MGN is what the dad is.
Speaker ASo cmb, Call me baby is what the baby should be named.
Speaker AThat is so fantastic.
Speaker AThat question just wrote itself.
Speaker AHonestly, what should Carly Rae Jepsen call the baby?
